assuming you have the 3.4 than the base is 170 at the crank. And i think Springs fastest had about 300 at the crank.(i think, im sure people will correct me if im wrong)

tips: CAI, TB, 62mm TB, Headers, Exhaust, ported/polished intake mani's, Turbo or SC, and alot more.........

Hint: The search button is a really good source for info for anything.

yeah running from what was said

best bet to start if you're looking for some more horses on the engine from what I've seen is to start out with headers, an intake, and cat back exhaust

guys over at grandamgt.com (same engine) have pulled 160-167 whp after dyno

torque from 180-184 wheel ft/lbs

what's the math on that, 215-220 crank hp

but as they say all cars react differently to add ons


slp catback, cai (made, or bought can go 70-180), and TOG headers will run you a bit

If i remember roughly....

SLP - $400
TOG - $700-800

never any discount hp, say a 120 cai with the rest = $28/midget pony
